What are the key features of TFM-117-03-H-D-RA?
- 34 positions (17 per row) in dual-row configuration with .050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density signal routing
- Right-angle (RA) orientation enables space-saving PCB edge mounting in constrained board designs
- High-reliability Tiger Eye contact technology provides superior retention force and low insertion resistance
What is TFM-117-03-H-D-RA used for?
The TFM-117-03-H-D-RA is well suited for high-density interconnect applications in compact embedded systems, instrumentation, and test equipment where .050" pitch dual-row connectors are required. Its right-angle orientation makes it ideal for daughter-card-to-backplane connections and panel-mount assemblies where vertical space is limited. This connector also supports reliable high-cycle mating in industrial control and data acquisition hardware requiring 34 signal positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and row configuration of the TFM-117-03-H-D-RA connector?
The TFM-117-03-H-D-RA uses a .050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row arrangement with 17 positions per row, giving 34 total contacts. This compact pitch allows high-density signal routing in space-constrained PCB designs, making it suitable for embedded systems and instrumentation applications.
How does the right-angle orientation of TFM-117-03-H-D-RA benefit compact PCB designs?
The right-angle (RA) termination style allows the connector to exit along the PCB plane rather than perpendicular to it, reducing vertical board height by routing signals horizontally. This is advantageous in enclosures with less than 10 mm vertical clearance, supporting low-profile daughter-card and backplane configurations.
Which high-reliability features distinguish the Tiger Eye terminal strip technology used in TFM-117-03-H-D-RA?
SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact design provides elevated normal force and a wiping action during mating, ensuring consistent electrical contact across all 34 pins even after repeated insertion cycles. Gold-plated contacts support low contact resistance, typically under 20 milliohms, and extended mating durability for test and industrial equipment.
